Agreed Local Structure Plan

The provisions of the R Codes relating to the Agreed Local Structure Plan area can be varied in accordance with Banksia Grove R Codes Variations.

Setbacks

All setbacks, except where detailed in theAgreed Local Structure Plan and theGuidelines, shall be in accordance with the provisions of the R Codes.A garage and carport can be constructed on any boundary (zero lot line) as a right.


Air Conditioning / Solar Hot Water Units / PV Cells / TV Aerials Air conditioning units may not protrude

significantly above the ridgeline of the

dwelling and must be of similar colour to the

roof. Solar hot water units must be

integrated with and match the roof profile of

the home. Television aerials must be located

in the roof void (between the roof and the

ceiling) so they are not visible from the road

or public open space.

tanks shall be screened from public view and

Front Landscaping Package Arrangement and installation of landscaping

to the front of the house must be completed

within 3 months of practical completion of

the main dwelling. Contact Banksia Grove on

9481 1633 for your landscaping voucher.

OrientationThe best orientation of your home is with the

living areas facing north, with little or no

obstructions blocking the winter sun. To

achieve the design goal of optimal energy

efficiency, north/south facing walls should be

1.5 to 2 times longer that the east/west

facing walls. This allows a reasonable access

to the winter sun from the north of the home

whilst reducing the exposure of walls and

windows to the early morning and late

afternoon sun, which can cause heat gain.

Boundary Fencing Package Arrangement and installation of the boundary

fencing for the lot must be completed prior

to occupation of the main dwelling. Contact

Banksia Grove on 9481 1633 for your fencing

voucher.

AccessNo dwellings shall be constructed on a lot

unless they are oriented to face the principal

road with the exception of a group dwelling

as defined in the R Codes and a dwelling on a

corner lot.

access to the lot must be exclusively from

the rear laneway servicing the lot.
